Distinguishable by its rotational arm movements, posing, and emphasis on expressiveness, waacking brings together the glitz and glamour of Hollywood films, the vibrant energy of disco, and the colorful underground Los Angeles gay club culture of the 1970s. Get ready to be blown away in a waacking battle organized by Princess Lockerooo, recently featured on Dancing with the Stars and lauded by the New York Times as the “Queen of Waacking.” Enrich yourself in a waacking 101, go head-to-head in an epic showdown and battle, then dance the night away in the rotunda.
